Advertisement The use of marching drummers and a salute during The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived also bears a striking similarity to videos of a Healy performance. Swift dubbed the new section of her show Female Rage: The Musical. She has also started repeating songs in the “surprise song” portion of her acoustic set, and introducing mash-ups.
